The Zealot
Synopsis
The continent of Greater Virren teeters on collapse, its cities in ruin and its roads left to marauders as the plague tightens its grip. Katarina Lorenz and her companion Tannhauser journey west in search of the source behind the sickness and the whispered words that seem to drive it, contending with human treachery and older, stranger forces along the way.
Behind them comes Ezekiel, who has survived against all odds and now pursues the pair, driven by a need for vengeance and vindication. Considerably longer than the trilogy's opening installment, this second volume widens the scope across a continent under siege and braids several points of view into one tightening pursuit.
It deepens the grim atmosphere of the first book while pushing its central mystery toward the forces that set the plague in motion.
